Hi!

I made a fast-paced word game, called Quiply.

I'd like to invite you to be the first to try it; it's live now at:

www.quiply.ca.dance

It's like Wordle on meth, although it's multiplayer (or you can play against some swell robots I've programmed - anytime).

How to play

The game works by trading words with your opponent. You can play any word, so long as:

• It's real (I built a 137,000 word dictionary to check)
• It matches at least one of these rules:
  • It has same starting letter as your opponent's word
  • Or it has same final letter
  • Or it has same the same number of letters
  • Or (for bonus points) it starts with the middle letter of your opponent's word

Plus:

• You get bonuses for stacking combos, such as starting with a middle letter and making the word same number of letters as your opponents.
• You can challenge your opponent's word if it doesn't match one of those rules above, and steal their points
  
  • But choose clever words, because they can challenge you, too
• And - watch out for Lobs!
  • You can throw these at your opponent to distract them
  • Or, cop a distraction yourself

The Winner:

Is the first player to 101 points!

Or, create a custom game, and set your own rules. You can even give out Game Codes to invite your friends to play online together.

Where did this idea come from?

I first created Quiply as "Quip", a drinking game, over 20 years ago. It was inspired by my O.C.D., and how I "see" words in the world.

My mind automatically counts the number of letters on things like billboards or the sides of busses, finds the middle letters, and rearranges letters into other words. I have a fascination with words, an obsession - it's why I'm a writer.

I first started creating Quiply as an online game back in 2016 - here's a screenshot from an early build, back when I had an entirely different name:

It's come a long way (and so have I!).
Although I still count the letters in freerange words :)

Ca.dance Apps

Quiply is part of Ca.dance Apps, a whole family of apps I've spent many years developing, some integral to my life's grand work: The Heart Saga.

PLUS - playing Quiply (free!) gets you a Ca.dance Membership card which unlocks all my apps - also free! Patrons and peeps who buy my merch will also get extra perks in those apps, too! (But you don't have to, I've made sure anyone can use them).

I have so many surprises in store; it's been a long time now. I am exhausted, but I can see the next milestone in the saga now.

Please, try Quiply for me - tell me what you think

I really do want to hear from you!

It's bound to have bugs I haven't found yet, so mind the bugs (or better - tell me about them, I'll fling you an App Opal; you'll see what they are, they're so much fun).

You'll find a Beta Pill in the game - clicking it lets you send Amanda and I a message, or to report a problem.

Or email me at hey@ca.dance

Happy quipping, gang.

Yours in words and story,

Cady
